Support of Windows vista 32-bit service Pack 2 can´t closed the means to buy windows 7

Windows Vista Home Basic with service Pack 2, support is complete and I have no way to buy windows 7, what am I I have to do, is there any free as I can get, any free solution to this problem? If I could, I would of course buy windows7, but I have very few resources. I am crushed because of that, because I live a very secluded life and my pc is the only way to be in contact with other people. Already have windows live essentials + Microsoft security essentials, but I want and need to proceed. Please please help?

  • Vista 64-bit Service Pack FPS fall

    I have a XPS M1730 8800 M GTX SLI, 4 GB of ram, and since the vista service pack 2, I got a slow start-ups and game performance a reduction slow office functions.  Fortunately, when I got the laptop I ran 3dmark 2003, so I had a reference point of 46 k points.  I have now a score of 33 k - someone else has this problem - I think only the service pack since I have no other changes that have occurred in the last 3 weeks (no virus since problem I checked with my kaspersky) is, I stopped playing WOW on the EVE of the trial, but it was when I went back to WOW , I noticed an fps serious fall.
    Any suggestions beside, the updated driver (it is now) or reinstalling windows

    Thank you
    Scott

    Hi ScottyB10,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

    Most of the people have corrected this by updating the drivers for the last available. However, you can also try the following steps

    Enable Write Caching' and 'Advanced performance' is enabled for your hard drive.

    There may other programs that might decrease performance. I suggest you to check in a clean boot.

    To perform a clean boot:

    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click OK and then click on restart.

    If it works fine then follow the article to find out which program is causing the problem

I get the error message with the title "Adobe Connect Add-in has stopped working". The message said: "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly.

Does anyone have the solution to this problem? Thank you.

    Do not know what could cause the problem, but Vista is not an operating system, for what it's worth.

    I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the Flash Player and see if it helps Uninstall Flash Player | Windows.

    It looks like not the resolution of the screen is the problem, as you mentioned, it should be something else. I would also recommend that you check your video drivers to see if there is an update, because who could help.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
